Animatronixx ◊ 2008-12-29 21:02	Here they write it was based on the famous Steinwinter and had been modified for the movie. http://www.famouscars.de/images/highwayman/highwayman.htm Steinwinter: http://www.steinwinter-stuttgart.de/ I don't know if this is true, but I could imagine...
garco ◊ 2008-12-29 21:55	That's nice information tronixx...
Ingo ◊ 2008-12-30 18:25	Steinwinter? The same company, which had offerend in the 80ies "pimp down"-conversion-kits for the Fiat 126 and the Lancia Y 10? I remember, that around 1988 I had talked with one guy of that company. The conversion-kits were made for reducing the engines on 250 ccm. It was a possibility for people, who had only an old (pre 1950) drivers-license for small motor-bikes. They were allowed to drive any vehicle up to 250 ccm. One reason, why the most German micro-cars of the 50ies had engines in that size. 250 ccm-engines (orign for the Goggomobil) were produced until the 80ies by a wery few old mechanics in the former Borgward-factory in Bremen. This little manufacturing was closed, when Mercedes Benz had started to produce in that plant the 190 [W201]. Very popular for conversing this "small block"-engine were -after the Goggomobil-production was stopped in 1969- the Fiat 500, the 126 and mainly the NSU Prinz 4.

limojag ◊ 2021-12-15 05:06	where is it and can I buy it to restore it?
ErikBoattail ◊ 2022-12-13 08:56	limojag: The truck is for sale, so put your money where your mouth is and buy it! By the way: according to the Craigslist seller it's a Peterbilt and not a Steinwinter: "Although it resembles a Steinwinter Supercargo 20.40 Cab, a super flat concept tractor first unveiled at the 1983 Frankfurt Motor Show, it was apparently built in 1982 and registered as a 1982 Peterbilt." https://i.ibb.co/3YqyVxM/Highwayman.webp Here's a link to the Craigslist advertisement: 1982 Peterbilt Rare truck - $65,000 (NORTH HOLLYWOOD) 1982 Custom built Peterbilt truck, the only one in the world, was in a movie, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I85a7zqrCo&t=169s go to The Highwayman movie and watch the same truck in it minute 2.17. cost $500K to build in 1982. steel clean body, needs paint and tls, 700 hp new Detroit diesel engine with only 5000 miles, starts and drives great, automatic, collector truck, can make over $100K year on production/movie rentals. had many sponsors, never did the project to repaint it. Roadworthy and registered, lost the registration but can get duplicate, has a 1982 Peterbilt pink slip, great project truck, can be made into a custom mobile home or RV Link to "losangeles.craigslist.org" -- Last edit: 2022-12-13 09:01:56
Animatronixx ◊ 2022-12-13 16:01	Thanks for the link, @ErikBoattail! Very helpful, especially for trashing the Steinwinter connection! So, whoever once brought that stupid theory up, was... me. fireworks But, hey, I was a 33-year-old kid back then and I still wouldn't rule out a certain inspiration by Steinwinter here, built using a 1982 Peterbilt chassis. We have no production date, but I don't think it arrived earlier than the Steinwinter, even though the Motortrend writer insinuates it 'apparently' was - probably because she's a Motortrend writer (Quote: "are those Ferrari Testerosa stripes on the side?"), just like the Famouscars writer was a Famouscars writer... Here are the pictures from the Craigslist ad that prove how how different it is from Manfred Steinwinter's concept: Edit: And here are some pictures by Twitter user tinydinosaurs from January 2020: supersize supersize supersize Interesting - it has that front styling in Power Rangers Time Force, but not yet in the early The Highwayman episode! -- Last edit: 2022-12-14 21:14:19
Vahmp ◊ 2022-12-14 01:09	Craigslist has listed that truck wrong, it is not a Peterbilt. That truck is 90% chance it is a steinwinter supercargo 2040. All clues point to it. Modified, but still a steinwinter. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2009/09/23/as-for-jettos-truck -- Last edit: 2022-12-14 01:10:50
Animatronixx ◊ 2022-12-14 15:39	Oh, yet another 'writer' at it - Hemmings this time, from 2009, incorporating various factual errors. Waiting for Jalopnik's take now... Hey, @Huffington-Post or @Apotheken-Umschau - what do you guys think?? I don't know where the '90% chance' come from, but the noticeably higher cabin and a much longer wheelbase are two reliable clues that point against the Steinwinter theory. An even better clue is, that the Steinwinter 2040 (there only ever was that one prototype) is in private ownership in Germany nowadays. Just to avoid more writers' clickbait: It's also none of the Cab-Under prototypes by the Strick Corp from the late 1970s. -- Last edit: 2023-05-28 00:40:39
